Are 100 and 80 series seats compatible ?

[OlyCruiser]

The Drivers seat in my wife's LX-450 is tired, and finding a decent 80 series seat to replace is difficult.
Does anyone know if the 100 series seat is a bolt in fit for the 80 series?

Thanks

[NLXTACY]

Nope

 

[LandCruisinMy93]

Wishful thinking

 

[mudgudgeon]

You can buy OEM replacement cushions and aftermarket leather.

Can the 100 series seats be installed with some fabrication? Or is it a fitment issue? Can't find reason why the 100 seats won't 'fit'

Aren’t 100 seats a little wider and bigger overall than 80 seats?

Yep. Wider, and mounting brackets, and arrest rail spacing is all different. There isn't physically room for a 100s seat.
The 100s are quite a bit wider in the body than an 80

I know mudgudgeon listed out his efforts to fit them a recent thread last week. Not to be contradicting the 'knowledge' of mud on the issue but yes they can be installed with sime modifications and fab work. Yes they are wider and a tight fit in an 80. An NC club member has them in his 450. His PO did the mod.

There have been several options discussed here on the forum. Belgium may be your challenge but Lseat.com is one popular option many have used. Several threads on them.

Personally I’d grab this set for quality Parts and supporting a contributing mud member.

Another thread just started that looks like LSeat may be DOA.

Which brand of aftermarket seat leather has the issue of the color layer peeling off after just one year??

 

[DirtDauberGarage]

Resurrecting this old thread.

The motors and switches in my 80 seats are all bad and need to be replaced. The seats need to be completely rebuilt. I was considering doing some fabrication and adjustments to make them go back 2 inches further while I rebuild them. I am 220 lbs and 6 foot 2 inches tall, so in light of all this, I think I will look for some seats from a 100, 200, or GX with functioning motors and see if I can make them fit.

This pic is from an FJ60 seat bracket, but it was the best pic I could find, and it is basically the same. There is room on the rail to drill out the rivets and re-drill a hole about 2 inches forward, which would move the seat two inches further back. While I make these modifications, I could also make the adjustments needed to fit the other seats in the 80. I would bolt and weld everything in, making sure it is strong and secure for safety reasons.

If possible, I might also see if I can lower the seat an inch, so I am not looking out of the top of the windshield.

Has anyone done this mod before? Tell me if I am crazy!

I found this thread and I am reading through it now... it might be helpful.

I know there are pleanty of other seats that can be made to fit, but I would like to keep it Toyota if possible.

Thread 'COMPILED - 80 Series Seat Swap Thread'

Dec 20, 2017

A few threads have been very useful to me over years, many of which are threads like the recent suspension coil and shock thread that @GWNugget started with a list of many of the available suspension options available and all the specs etc.

I wanted to add a similar one for a topic that hopefully some will find useful. I know I did a lot of searching and wading through tons of different threads trying to find info on seat swap options. I hope to gather as many of those as I can and include them all here in one place (along with the links) so that anyone researching seat swaps can find...
